Hi David
I have looked through the "Almanache des Chronique de Jersey" and H G James first appears in the 1907 edition living at Wonganella (note the spelling). I would therefore expect him to have been there since 1906 as the almanac is produced the following year. He was there until the 1927/1928 edition when he was living at Hillside, Gorey Village, Grouville.
By 1929/1931 he was at Le Marais H. I've no idea what the H stands for!
Strangely he was back at Wonganella in the 1932/1933 edition.
The EP Almanac confirms the 1932 location and he disappears in the 1933 edition.
In the Jersey Directory and Express Almanac his name is quoted as Hurst G James.
Now, as regards a marriage to Ada Anna I searched the St Helier Registry Office, Grouville Parish and St Clement's Paris with no success from 1901 to 1933. However what I did stumble across was a marriage for Ada Anna James at St Helier Registry Office. The reference is May 1933 to Jan 1935, volume 29 page 29 if you should want the certificate. She obviously married again.
You mention that H G James is buried at St Clement. What made you draw this conclusion as I can see his death recorded in the index for Grouville, Mar 1922 to May 1941 on page 281? I think it strange that he would die in one parish but be buried in another.
As regards Wonganella, I think this is a house name. I live in Grouville and locals tend to use house names rather than road names. Leads to total confusion!! I will try and find its location next week.
Regards
Stewart
